Indigenous Affairs  Mr. Speaker, part of reconciliation means continuing to support indigenous communities across Canada. Last week, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Public Safety announced a historic agreement with the Siksika Nation in Alberta for self-administered policing services. Can t

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, absolutely, big companies should be paying the price of the pollution they create.

Business of Supply  Madam Speaker, I will be sharing my time with the member for Vaughan—Woodbridge. Today feels like Groundhog Day because, once again, we are here talking about the price on pollution. It could almost be 2015, which was one of the first times this topic was brought up in a federa

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, I would like to thank the minister for her detailed response. I would like to shift gears a little and ask about a different matter. In 2015, folks in and around the lower mainland were horrified to see the impacts of the Marathassa bunker oil spill that occurred in

Business of Supply  Mr. Chair, it is an honour to rise today to speak and ask questions about issues that are top of mind for the coastal communities in my riding and the amazing marine life that inhabits the area as well. Canada's oceans are home to 47 distinct populations of whales. Whales are a
